متن کاملExtra-Esophageal Pepsin from Stomach Refluxate Promoted Tonsil Hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux is associated with numerous pathologic conditions of the upper aerodigestive tract. Gastric pepsin within reflux contributes to immunologic reactions in the tonsil. In this study, we aimed to find the relationships between pepsin and tonsillar hypertrophy. METHODS AND FINDING We explored the notion whether tonsillar hypertrophy was due to pepsin-mediated gas...
